Curriculum Changes Here Mar. 19
Three major changes in the cur-riculum
are being made in the
transition to the semester system,
stated Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom,
chairman of the Curriculum com-mittee,
in a recent interview. These
changes involve the language and
fine arts departments and include
the addition of independent study
courses.
Up to date, •the language re-quirement
has been 20 quarter
hours, or the equivalent of 14 sem-ester
hours, over a period of two
years. Under the new system be-ing
inaugurated next fall, there
will be 10 semester hours in a
concentrated one-year course as
the requirement. A second year,
which will be reading foreign lan-guage
works in the field of the
student's major, will be elective.
The fine arts requirement in
past years has been either one
quarter of Art Introduction or two
quarters of Music Appreciation.
Next year, the two courses will
be telescoped into one single course
of four semester credits. The
course work will include both lec-ture
and laboratory periods. Lis-tening
periods, viewing periods,
and field trips are tentatively
scheduled during the laboratory
hours.
Explaining the independent study
courses, which are available to
seniors only, Dr. Fagerstrom start-that
they would .offer more
time for individual assignments,
independent study, extensive read-ing
courses, or intensive labora-tory
or research experiences.

Moberg Gets
Lectureship
Having been granted a Ful-bright
Lectureship, Dr. David Mo-berg,
chairman of the department
of social sciences, will teach dur-ing
the next school year, for which
he has received saba•ical leave,
at the State University in Gron-ingen,
the Netherlands.
•Besides lecturing in sociology,
Dr. Moberg, who is associate pro-fessor
of socioligy at Bethel col-lege,
is planning to do research
en adjustment in old age. He also
hopes to make contacts with cen-ters
where research is being done
in 'sociology in religion.
With him Dr. 'Moberg plans to
take his family which includes his
wife, Helen, and three children,
Paul, 7, Lynette, 6, and Jonathan,
5.
According to present plans, Dr.
Moberg and his family will arrive
in the Netherlands shortly before
orientation begins in the first part
of September.
Dr. Moberg will be teaching in
the new institute of social sciences
at the university which is directed
by Dr. P. J. Bouman.
The city of .Groningen, which is
about 20 miles from the sea, is
equally 'distant from Copenhagen,
Berlin, Paris, and London. Mrs.
Moberg says that she hopes "we
will be able to take some time to
see some of the European coun-tries."
She added .that the children are
looking forward to the trip and

Dr. Fagerstrom. He added that the
college office will make every ef-fort
to smooth out any difficulties
which may develop.

catalog to be published soon.
The Curriculum committee, which
this year includes Dr. Howard

Paul Grabill, and Francis Wheeler,
as well as Dr. Fagerstrom, start-ed

Film Controversy
To Be Discussed
The Senate will meet with the
administration and the cultural
council in an attempt to find a
common meeting place concerning
the current issue of films on
March 21. This action is being
taken as a preliminaxy to an open
convocation for all students.
The meeting is a result of an
ultimatum. 'presented to the Stu-tient
Stwate Liit,etiiig
Feb. 21. In part this statement
said, "If the council is not grant-ed
its wish for an open forum
where it may present its case, or
if the administration does not re-send
its latest action on film
showing restrictions, the council
asks that it be considered dissolv-ed
and that the Senate establish
another cultural council with new
personnel."
Senate Approves
New Inclusive Fee
Recommended changes. in the in-clusive
fee made by the Admini-strative
committee were approved
by the Student Senate on Feb. 21.
The major change is that the
health and accident fee and the
'student center fee will be added
to the inclusive fee instead of be-ing
paid separately as has been
done in the past.
Other changes are that the fee
for athletics will be lowered $4,
and the fees for the Clarion, pro-grams
and speakers, and the Stu-dent
Senate will be raised' 50 cents
each. There will be no athletic in-surance
fee.
The inclusive fee will amount to
$25 per semester.

According to the Health De-partment
of the University of Min-nesota,
a healthy adult can donate
a pint of blood at regular inter-vals
without harm or noticeable
inconvenience. Many persons have
given eight or more pints of blood
through regular donations. The
human body has about six quarts
of blood, more or less depending
on body size. And when a pint of
blood is lost through donation, it
is quickly replaced by the body
so that the blood returns to its
normal state.

Sdetertiata Zeteeta to Here? Never!
(ACP)—A psychology research poll taken' before the University
of Colorado student elections revealed that 547 students had voted for
two non-existent candidates. Harmony In Action de Edje"
Although some time has elapsed since the President spoke in
chapel on campus issues, we feel there are a few things left to be said.
We cannot disagree with what he said. We believe in Christian
harmony etc. right dawn the line. But we feel that believing this is
only the beginning, the axioms upon which we must build. It's •the ap-plication
that is difficult, and students and administration members
equally fall down here in their efforts to achieve this ideal.
The administrative committee is evidently saving its explanations
on its decision about the cultural restrictions for the meeting of the
Senate, the council, and the committee later this month. This six week's
lag between the change in policy and the necessary explanation does not
promote the harmony the President spoke of.
On the contrary this indcident, while not of great significance in
itself, points to a gulf between the students and the administration
which we think has developed. Perhaps we shouldn't say this out loud
since we don't know the solution to the problem. But it is a deplorable
fact, as far as we can see, and it must be faced.
Neglected Brotherhood
To us at Bethel, we have a tendency to think of the segregation
problem as a clear-cut conflict between the Negroes and whites, the
appearance of the following editorial in the "Mississippi Collegian" may
come as a surprise.
There has been, ever since we were all children, a lot of talk
about the "universal 'brotherhood of man." We have been taught in
'Sunday School classes from the time we were old enough to under-stand
talk that "red and yellow, black and white—all are precious in
His sight."
Is there any validity to these teachings?
'If so, why are seventy-million people (the kind that Americanism
teachers are created equal) enslaved in Europe and Asia?
If so, why do we have to have a "civil rights" bill when the con-stitution
guarantees every citizen equal rights?
If so, why are people who ask for equal rights for a fellow human
being branded as Communists and heretics before the words have
fallen from their lips?
The answer -is simply that you and I have neglected the practice
of what we believe. Surely, talk about brotherhood is good, but practice
is even better. Brotherhood isn't a commodity that we can buy with
foreign aid programs and civil rights bills. It is a spirit, accomplished
'through soul-searching prayer and perserveranee.
His Life Was Prayer
by Ed Erickson
"Brethren, pray for us." This was the plea of Paul to the church
at Thessalonica. These were not words tacked on the end of his letter
because he felt they would provide for him a fitting way to close. Paul
knew what it meant to bear about in his body the suffering and dying
of the Lord: Ito be beaten, stoned, and imprisoned. This plea came from
a heart and life that had experienced the mystery of being crucified
with Christ and which had come to realize the awful power which was
at the command of the prince of darkness.
Almost two thousand years after Paul a missionary by the name
of Hyde—known by many as "praying Hyde"—literally prayed himself
to death. A foolish way to cut short one's life, someone might say; but
Hyde didn't think so. McGraw writes of him: "This was the doctor's
warning. Hyde was to give up his life of strain as an intercessor in
the 'Sanctuary, or pay the penalty with his life. What was to be done?
He chose the latter without a moment's hesitation." Hyde had caught
the vision of Jesus as the slain lamb of God and heard again his sor-rowful,
disappointed voice as he stood in the garden and spoke to his
disciples, "Could ye not watch with me one hour?"
There is an organization on this campus which recognizes the im-mediacy
and importance of this question as it pertains to missionary
activity today. Because of this the Foreign Missions Fellowship has
organized prayer groups which meet week-day afternoons. Each of
these remembers a specific field and information is therefore posted on
campus bulletin boards giving details regarding the group which is to
meet on any particular day. Here is the opportunity! We know the need.
Christ still commands: "PRAY ye the Lord of the harvest . . ."
671 44w:red Scorn
Wanted—one gallon of midnight
oil! What if every Bethel student
were granted one gallon midnight
oil on arrival at college to use as
he saw fit until time for gradua-tion.
It would be especially hard
on the procrastinators who never
crack a book until twelve and then
merely memorize without absorb-ing.
Their supply of oil would be
gone the first week •and then they
would be "in the dark". And then
there are those who would foolish-ly
fuel their lamps for no purpose
other than to illumine daydreams.
Sad, but true, a few Bethelites
might have to bequeathe their sup-ply
of oil to a neighbor who does
their studying for them.
Sign Letter?
Dear Editors:
It seems to me that the CLAR-ION
ought to carry the signatures
on all letters-to-the-editor for at
least three reasons:
First, when a letter raises a
significant issue, it would open
discussion by interested persons
if the writer were known.
Second, such a procedure would
tend to minimize the number of
crack-pot letters 'by the few folk
who feel that they owe us their
opinion on all subjects. By the
fourth or fifth signed letter some
of them. would begin to hesitate.
Third, the addition of the signa-ture
would also tend to eliminate
the sort of letter which is written
chiefly for the impish satisfaction
of stirring up controversy for con-troversy's
sake and for •mbar-rassing
other people or campus
groups.
Clearly, the signature alone will
not solve these two abuses of an
open press, for the crack-pot or
imp can get others to write his
letters for him, but the cloak of
anonymity is too convenient for
those who 'distort the purposes of
a free press'.
Another protection against these
two evils involves judicious, edi-torial
discretion. Some letters
ought to be =printed. This, of
course, involves an editorial cen-sorship,
and censorship is an od-ious
ward. But a censorship that
aims at achieving responsible, free
discussion is essential to the free-dom
of the college newspaper.
Sincerely,
Walfa-ed Peterson
Ed. Note—Our policy will con-tinue
to be the same; we will pub-lish
all letters (within reason) that
in some way identify the writers
to us.
Why Films Only?
Dear Editors:
Since when are films the only
medium by which we obtain cul-ture?
If the cultural council is
thwarted in its efforts to bring
movies to our campus, why doesn't
it spend its time arranging for
more art collections, concerts and
lectures?
I would certainly appreciate the
films, but I hope our school won't
be void of culture just because we
can't have them.
Sincerely,
Wondering

In addition, the tests showed that students definitely were swayed
in' their opinions by percentage reports, and that a non-existent candi-date
with the common familiar name of "Stevens" was an overwhelm-ing
favorite over the equally fictitious "Mr. Pomry•."
The poll was conducted by Marvin N. Machman, assistant pro-fessor
of psychology, and the results could indicate apathy of voters
not only on campuses, but in regional and national elections as well.
Here's how it worked, as reported by the "Colorado Daily" at
Boulder:
Sample ballots were 'distributed among 555 students, asking them
to select two preferences between actual ASUC candidates and two
(unknown to the students) fictitious names. The actual students were
Fletcher and Watts.; the fabricated candidates were Stevens and
Pomryn.
On each sample ballot was this explanation: "We are interested
in week-to-week changes in student opinions. The results of the first
week's poll (which actually was never released) for these positions
were as follows 'on the ballot . . ." The ballot then listed imaginary
percentage figures beside each candidate'.s name.
The experiement showed a marked influence was made on student
voters by the fictitious percentage figures. 'For example, on one set of
'ballots Fletcher was shown to have had "62 per cent" of the votes from
"The previous week," and as a result he accrued 60 per cent of the
vote's on the dummy ballot. On another set of ballots, however, Fletcher
was shown to have had only "38 per cent" of the "previous week's
total," and the students passed him in favor of another candidate.
Only eight of the 555 students involved in the test discovered the
two dummy names.
If The Shoe Fits - -
by Astrid Barbins
In his poem "A Little Boy Lost" Blake pictures an incident which
took place long ago in England. The story is about a boy who asked
God this question,
Father, haw can I love you
Or any of my brothers more?
I love you like a little bird
That picks up crumbs around the door.
A priest, 'standing by, heard the bay's prayer and question. Seized
by pharisaical anger, he grabbed the child.
They stripped him to his little shirt
And 'bound him to an iron chain . .
They burned him in a holy place.
The boy had not committed any crime; he had not harmed anyone.
He was sentenced to death because he had dared to voice a question.
Apparently the priest did not like people who questioned the "holy
Mystery." This 'boy caught more than the normal child did; therefore
he was dangerous.
This happened in England centuries ago. Such a thing is strange
to 'us in America, where 'everyone has freedom of expression. Or is it?
Do we ever set ourselves in the priest's position, ridiculing, judging,
and destroying the person who dares to be different from the crowd?
Do we condemn an individual who thinks deeper than the comman man
does, an individual who dares to challenge the accepted pattern of
belief and action?
Are ,such things done in civilized America, in our towns, our cities,
our churches ? Are they done at Bethel?
7atherly Concern

The following note appeared dur-ing
final's week last quarter for
some of the men in Edgren resi-dence.
It symbolizes the fatherly
concern our men receive from their
industrious supervisor.
Gentlemen:
The first floor is long noted for
its relative quiet.
But with finals here even first-floor
men (one or two) are apt to
forget for a single moment the
hallowed traditions of pastoral
peace here established.
Steady men, steady.
Respect the desires of the stu-
,derits who are sprinkled around
here and there.
Steady men, steady.
Steady,

Speech Majors:
Please Take Note
(ACP) — University of Ala-bama's
CRIMSON WHITE has
coined a new cliche: "lonely as an
intellectual at an Elvis Presley
concert."
Last quarter at Bethel quite a
few grades went to pot! Some of
our less studious friends might
have jeopardized the lenient dorm
hours for others. That seems quite
unfair for the student who is will-ing
to spend the afternoon pre-paring
lessons in order to go out
in the evening.
Here at Bethel we have (nomi-nally)
a system of self-govern-ment.
Have you considered govern-ing
yourself as an individual ? If
not, stop and think, then use the
precious 'supply of midnight oil
wisely.

`'WHAT THI5 I sag ABOUT ME SIN' ON PRDOATION11
RePree:1 Patadae
Ed. Note—Jim Reinoldt and Paul Schlueter, members of the
rather unsuccessful Knight's basketball team, have requested that
the CLARION reprint the following article which was run last
year. They feel it somewhat explaine the failure of their team to
win more often.
The referee poked his head out of the pile of players and tooted
angrily on his whistle.
"What," he inquired, "Is going on here?"
The battleground was the fieldhouse, and the reason was infra-murals,
and the conflict was basketball, more or less.
Some minutes later the referee had sorted out five miscellaneous
players per team and had located the ball, and the game went on.
Up and down the floor the tumult raged, a virtual tornado of flying
feet and other appendages, and not unlike an ambitious cyclone happily
'engaged in 'disecting a china shop.
And, rather far behind and along the sidelines, now quite removed
from actual combat, puffed the referee, sucking his whistle fiercely as
if it were the only thing which remained between him and insanity,
and shaking his head. He felt that the• game was rather getting away
from him.
Five or six hospital cases later, when the two teams had run out
of players in operating condition, a truce was signed and the battle
ended. The referee was informed of this wise decision and he turned, a
lonely man, and made his weary way toward the exit, with a vaguely
troubling, persisting thought that perhaps he had missed a few calls.

Bethel Wins
Two At Home
Bethel wound up its home sea-son
with an impressive victory
over Lakeland Saturday afternoon
March 2 by a score of 83-78. It
was a game with a well mounded
offense as five players scored in
double figures for the Royals.
'Pommerenke was high with 19,
'Carlson hit 17, and Westin 16, to
lead the team.
The game was close most of the
way, and could have gone either
way. But Pommerenke hit two
quick ones in the closing minutes
to put the Royals decisively in
front.
On Saturday, Feb. 23, Pommer-enke
was almost the whole offen-sive
show as he scored 35 points
for the team high on the year.
The Royals topped Tabor in that
game by a score of 86-70. Westin
also had a good night with 17
points.

Career Festival, a non-profit
youth-a•d project sponsored by the
College of St. Thomas with the
cooperation of Augsburg, Bethel,
Hamline, Macalester, and the Col-lege
of St. Catherine, will be held
March 26, 27, and 28 in the St.
Thomas Armory.
Sixty exhibitors staffing 90
booths will provide descriptions
and brochures for over 100 differ-ent
employment fields. Fields to
be represented include such bran-ches
of medicine as physical ther-apy,
medical technology, nursing,
pharmacy, dentistry, and general
practitioning. There will also be
booths on merchandising, account-ing,
library science, social work,
teaching, law, art, engineering, in-surance,
and journalism.
The 'exhibitors include the Min-nesota
Mining Manufacturing Co.,
General Mills, N.W. Bell Tele-phone
Co., Minneapolis School of
Art, St. Paul Dispatch and Pio-neer
Press, Minnesota State Civil
!Service, and WTCN-Radio-TV.
Over 20 thousand high school
and college students are again ex-pected
to attend this three-day
career-planning event.
Begun in 1955, over 40 thousand
students attended the Festival on
the St. Thomas campus during the
Sem Dormitory
To Be Remodeled
The cost of remodeling the Sem-inary
dormitory, which will be
completed by next fall, is now be-ing
investigated by Harold Lid-born,
business manager.
The fifteen dorm rooms now
house approximately forty students
from both seminary and college.
Next year the dorm will house
only seventeen, all of which will
be seminary students. The other
students will be accommodated by
the new wing on the boy's dorm.
Most of the rooms will be singles
and the furnishings will be similar
to those in the new wings. A por-tion
of this dorm will be converted
to faculty offices.
The purpose of this remodeling
program is to alleviate the crowd-ed
living conditions now existing
in the seminary dorm.

Sophomore Test
Begins Tomorrow
The national College Sophomore
Testing Program test will be given
to all Bethel sophomores during
the mornings of March 13 and 14,
Wednesday and Thursday. The
place will be designated later.
These tests, which are admini-stered
on hundreds of college cam-puses,
enable a school to compare
the general educational growth of
its sophomores with that of sopho-mores
throughout the country.
Last year, the first year that
the Sophomore Culture tests were
given here, Bethel students ranked
significantly above the national
average according to Clifford Lar-son,
dean of the college.
General cultural background, un-derstanding
of contemporary af-fairs
and 'skills in English, reading
and writing are measured by the
testing program.
The two-fold purpose of the
tests, Dean Larson stated, is to
show Bethel how its educational
program compares with the pro-grams
in other colleges and uni-versities
and to give the student
a picture of himself before he be-gins
a more extensive study in his
major field.
Dr. Bailey Of NCA
To Study Program
A special session of the faculty
to review the Master self study of
the total curriculum will meet to-morrow
with Dr. Carl Bailey,
special coordinator for Bethel col-lege
under the Committee on Lib-eral
Arts of the North Central as-sociation.
Dr. Bailey, who is also dean of
Concordia college in Moorhead,
Minn., will analyze the Master self
study of the total curriculum made
by the faculty in connection with
the change from the quarter to
semester system.
Each year Bethel engages in
some Master self study program
for the Committee on Liberal Arts
of the North Central association'.
These Master self studies are a
part of a long range program to
gain accreditation by the North
Central association.

Pay As You Go
Payments OK
A new deferred payment plan for
tuition, fees, and board and room,
plus an alteration in the loan
policy, which have been' approved
by the administrative committee,
will go into effect next fall.
Similar to the present plan of
payment, all charges for tuition,
fees, and board and room will still
be due at the 'beginning of the
semester. However, under the new
plan, students may make arrange-ments
in the business office for
deferred payments for the whole
amount. One third of the total
amount will be due at the time of
registration. (For freshmen, how-ever,
the percentage will be one
half of the amount.) The remain-der
may be paid in one, two, or
three equal monthly installments.
The service charge for this pri-vilege
will be $2 with the down
payment and $1 for each month or
part of a month.
Under the new provision for the
loan fund, loan money now be-comes
available for longer terms
and at lower interest.
Regular loans will not be open
to freshmen, and juniors and sen-iors
will be given preference. Ap-plications
for loans will be con-sidered
by a faculty committee,
with attention to academic 'poten-tial,
financial need, and personal
qualifications. Each student will
be limited to a maximum loan of
$300 at any one time.
Loans will bear 3 per cent inter-est
per annum on the unpaid bal-ance
while the student is attend-ing
Bethel (vacations included)
and 6 per cent from the time the
'student leaves college. Final pay-ment
of the loan will 'be due one
year from the time of leaving the
college.
These changes in the loan fund
policy have been worked out dur-ing
the year by a joint committee
of administration and Student Sen-ate
representatives.

Peterson Named
Bethel Rep. On CFS
Walfred Peterson, professor of
political science in the college, has
been appointed 'to represent Bethel
an a College-Federal Service coun-cil
for the Twin City area.
The council consists of repre-sentatives

workings and problems of his Fed-eral
Government so that he may
participate thoughtfully in it as a
citizen.
(2) to call the attention of col-lege
students to vocational open-
•n.gs in political and diplomatic
services..
President Lundquist expressed
his pleasure to have Mr. Peterson

into the basic objective of
Bethel, namely to encourage Chris-tian
young people to level the
weight of their leadership in na-tional
and international life."

Curriculum Changes Here Mar. 19
Three major changes in the cur-riculum
are being made in the
transition to the semester system,
stated Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom,
chairman of the Curriculum com-mittee,
in a recent interview. These
changes involve the language and
fine arts departments and include
the addition of independent study
courses.
Up to date, •the language re-quirement
has been 20 quarter
hours, or the equivalent of 14 sem-ester
hours, over a period of two
years. Under the new system be-ing
inaugurated next fall, there
will be 10 semester hours in a
concentrated one-year course as
the requirement. A second year,
which will be reading foreign lan-guage
works in the field of the
student's major, will be elective.
The fine arts requirement in
past years has been either one
quarter of Art Introduction or two
quarters of Music Appreciation.
Next year, the two courses will
be telescoped into one single course
of four semester credits. The
course work will include both lec-ture
and laboratory periods. Lis-tening
periods, viewing periods,
and field trips are tentatively
scheduled during the laboratory
hours.
Explaining the independent study
courses, which are available to
seniors only, Dr. Fagerstrom start-that
they would .offer more
time for individual assignments,
independent study, extensive read-ing
courses, or intensive labora-tory
or research experiences.

March 14-15. The bloodmobile unit
will be in operation from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19,
in the basement of Edgren resi-de•
ce. Following the donations,
refreshments will be served.
Anyone over 18 can donate blood
through the Red CMGs program,
Marion Reimer, school nurse stat-ed.
Parental release slips are re-quired
of those donors between
18 and 21 years of age. These slips
will be put in post office boxes
or may be Obtained from the
Health Center.
During the October visit of the
bloodmobile, only 61 pints of blood
were donated, Miss Reimer added.
Those who donated blood in Octo-ber
will be eligible to. give blood
again, as the waiting period be-tween
donations is only 90 days
"This is one way Bethel can
demonstrate its Christian concern
for the 'community," Miss Reimer
said. "There seems to be no rea-son
why 'everyone should not be
willing to volunteer."
According to the Health De-partment
of the University of Min-nesota,
a healthy adult can donate
a pint of blood at regular inter-vals
without harm or noticeable
inconvenience. Many persons have
given eight or more pints of blood
through regular donations. The
human body has about six quarts
of blood, more or less depending
on body size. And when a pint of
blood is lost through donation, it
is quickly replaced by the body
so that the blood returns to its
normal state.

In A Hurry?
(ACP)—Staff members of the
REFLECTOR at Mississippi State
College timed cars going through
campus. Of 30 oars checked in a
45-minute period, only 2 were
within the speed limit.
"Results are by no means con-clusive,"
said the REFLECTOR,
"but they do point up the fact
that there is considerable speed-ing
through the heart of campus."

Sdetertiata Zeteeta to Here? Never!
(ACP)—A psychology research poll taken' before the University
of Colorado student elections revealed that 547 students had voted for
two non-existent candidates. Harmony In Action de Edje"
Although some time has elapsed since the President spoke in
chapel on campus issues, we feel there are a few things left to be said.
We cannot disagree with what he said. We believe in Christian
harmony etc. right dawn the line. But we feel that believing this is
only the beginning, the axioms upon which we must build. It's •the ap-plication
that is difficult, and students and administration members
equally fall down here in their efforts to achieve this ideal.
The administrative committee is evidently saving its explanations
on its decision about the cultural restrictions for the meeting of the
Senate, the council, and the committee later this month. This six week's
lag between the change in policy and the necessary explanation does not
promote the harmony the President spoke of.
On the contrary this indcident, while not of great significance in
itself, points to a gulf between the students and the administration
which we think has developed. Perhaps we shouldn't say this out loud
since we don't know the solution to the problem. But it is a deplorable
fact, as far as we can see, and it must be faced.
Neglected Brotherhood
To us at Bethel, we have a tendency to think of the segregation
problem as a clear-cut conflict between the Negroes and whites, the
appearance of the following editorial in the "Mississippi Collegian" may
come as a surprise.
There has been, ever since we were all children, a lot of talk
about the "universal 'brotherhood of man." We have been taught in
'Sunday School classes from the time we were old enough to under-stand
talk that "red and yellow, black and white—all are precious in
His sight."
Is there any validity to these teachings?
'If so, why are seventy-million people (the kind that Americanism
teachers are created equal) enslaved in Europe and Asia?
If so, why do we have to have a "civil rights" bill when the con-stitution
guarantees every citizen equal rights?
If so, why are people who ask for equal rights for a fellow human
being branded as Communists and heretics before the words have
fallen from their lips?
The answer -is simply that you and I have neglected the practice
of what we believe. Surely, talk about brotherhood is good, but practice
is even better. Brotherhood isn't a commodity that we can buy with
foreign aid programs and civil rights bills. It is a spirit, accomplished
'through soul-searching prayer and perserveranee.
His Life Was Prayer
by Ed Erickson
"Brethren, pray for us." This was the plea of Paul to the church
at Thessalonica. These were not words tacked on the end of his letter
because he felt they would provide for him a fitting way to close. Paul
knew what it meant to bear about in his body the suffering and dying
of the Lord: Ito be beaten, stoned, and imprisoned. This plea came from
a heart and life that had experienced the mystery of being crucified
with Christ and which had come to realize the awful power which was
at the command of the prince of darkness.
Almost two thousand years after Paul a missionary by the name
of Hyde—known by many as "praying Hyde"—literally prayed himself
to death. A foolish way to cut short one's life, someone might say; but
Hyde didn't think so. McGraw writes of him: "This was the doctor's
warning. Hyde was to give up his life of strain as an intercessor in
the 'Sanctuary, or pay the penalty with his life. What was to be done?
He chose the latter without a moment's hesitation." Hyde had caught
the vision of Jesus as the slain lamb of God and heard again his sor-rowful,
disappointed voice as he stood in the garden and spoke to his
disciples, "Could ye not watch with me one hour?"
There is an organization on this campus which recognizes the im-mediacy
and importance of this question as it pertains to missionary
activity today. Because of this the Foreign Missions Fellowship has
organized prayer groups which meet week-day afternoons. Each of
these remembers a specific field and information is therefore posted on
campus bulletin boards giving details regarding the group which is to
meet on any particular day. Here is the opportunity! We know the need.
Christ still commands: "PRAY ye the Lord of the harvest . . ."
671 44w:red Scorn
Wanted—one gallon of midnight
oil! What if every Bethel student
were granted one gallon midnight
oil on arrival at college to use as
he saw fit until time for gradua-tion.
It would be especially hard
on the procrastinators who never
crack a book until twelve and then
merely memorize without absorb-ing.
Their supply of oil would be
gone the first week •and then they
would be "in the dark". And then
there are those who would foolish-ly
fuel their lamps for no purpose
other than to illumine daydreams.
Sad, but true, a few Bethelites
might have to bequeathe their sup-ply
of oil to a neighbor who does
their studying for them.
Sign Letter?
Dear Editors:
It seems to me that the CLAR-ION
ought to carry the signatures
on all letters-to-the-editor for at
least three reasons:
First, when a letter raises a
significant issue, it would open
discussion by interested persons
if the writer were known.
Second, such a procedure would
tend to minimize the number of
crack-pot letters 'by the few folk
who feel that they owe us their
opinion on all subjects. By the
fourth or fifth signed letter some
of them. would begin to hesitate.
Third, the addition of the signa-ture
would also tend to eliminate
the sort of letter which is written
chiefly for the impish satisfaction
of stirring up controversy for con-troversy's
sake and for •mbar-rassing
other people or campus
groups.
Clearly, the signature alone will
not solve these two abuses of an
open press, for the crack-pot or
imp can get others to write his
letters for him, but the cloak of
anonymity is too convenient for
those who 'distort the purposes of
a free press'.
Another protection against these
two evils involves judicious, edi-torial
discretion. Some letters
ought to be =printed. This, of
course, involves an editorial cen-sorship,
and censorship is an od-ious
ward. But a censorship that
aims at achieving responsible, free
discussion is essential to the free-dom
of the college newspaper.
Sincerely,
Walfa-ed Peterson
Ed. Note—Our policy will con-tinue
to be the same; we will pub-lish
all letters (within reason) that
in some way identify the writers
to us.
Why Films Only?
Dear Editors:
Since when are films the only
medium by which we obtain cul-ture?
If the cultural council is
thwarted in its efforts to bring
movies to our campus, why doesn't
it spend its time arranging for
more art collections, concerts and
lectures?
I would certainly appreciate the
films, but I hope our school won't
be void of culture just because we
can't have them.
Sincerely,
Wondering

In addition, the tests showed that students definitely were swayed
in' their opinions by percentage reports, and that a non-existent candi-date
with the common familiar name of "Stevens" was an overwhelm-ing
favorite over the equally fictitious "Mr. Pomry•."
The poll was conducted by Marvin N. Machman, assistant pro-fessor
of psychology, and the results could indicate apathy of voters
not only on campuses, but in regional and national elections as well.
Here's how it worked, as reported by the "Colorado Daily" at
Boulder:
Sample ballots were 'distributed among 555 students, asking them
to select two preferences between actual ASUC candidates and two
(unknown to the students) fictitious names. The actual students were
Fletcher and Watts.; the fabricated candidates were Stevens and
Pomryn.
On each sample ballot was this explanation: "We are interested
in week-to-week changes in student opinions. The results of the first
week's poll (which actually was never released) for these positions
were as follows 'on the ballot . . ." The ballot then listed imaginary
percentage figures beside each candidate'.s name.
The experiement showed a marked influence was made on student
voters by the fictitious percentage figures. 'For example, on one set of
'ballots Fletcher was shown to have had "62 per cent" of the votes from
"The previous week," and as a result he accrued 60 per cent of the
vote's on the dummy ballot. On another set of ballots, however, Fletcher
was shown to have had only "38 per cent" of the "previous week's
total," and the students passed him in favor of another candidate.
Only eight of the 555 students involved in the test discovered the
two dummy names.
If The Shoe Fits - -
by Astrid Barbins
In his poem "A Little Boy Lost" Blake pictures an incident which
took place long ago in England. The story is about a boy who asked
God this question,
Father, haw can I love you
Or any of my brothers more?
I love you like a little bird
That picks up crumbs around the door.
A priest, 'standing by, heard the bay's prayer and question. Seized
by pharisaical anger, he grabbed the child.
They stripped him to his little shirt
And 'bound him to an iron chain . .
They burned him in a holy place.
The boy had not committed any crime; he had not harmed anyone.
He was sentenced to death because he had dared to voice a question.
Apparently the priest did not like people who questioned the "holy
Mystery." This 'boy caught more than the normal child did; therefore
he was dangerous.
This happened in England centuries ago. Such a thing is strange
to 'us in America, where 'everyone has freedom of expression. Or is it?
Do we ever set ourselves in the priest's position, ridiculing, judging,
and destroying the person who dares to be different from the crowd?
Do we condemn an individual who thinks deeper than the comman man
does, an individual who dares to challenge the accepted pattern of
belief and action?
Are ,such things done in civilized America, in our towns, our cities,
our churches ? Are they done at Bethel?
7atherly Concern
or Male Students
The following note appeared dur-ing
final's week last quarter for
some of the men in Edgren resi-dence.
It symbolizes the fatherly
concern our men receive from their
industrious supervisor.
Gentlemen:
The first floor is long noted for
its relative quiet.
But with finals here even first-floor
men (one or two) are apt to
forget for a single moment the
hallowed traditions of pastoral
peace here established.
Steady men, steady.
Respect the desires of the stu-
,derits who are sprinkled around
here and there.
Steady men, steady.
Steady,

(ACP) — University of Ala-bama's
CRIMSON WHITE has
coined a new cliche: "lonely as an
intellectual at an Elvis Presley
concert."
Last quarter at Bethel quite a
few grades went to pot! Some of
our less studious friends might
have jeopardized the lenient dorm
hours for others. That seems quite
unfair for the student who is will-ing
to spend the afternoon pre-paring
lessons in order to go out
in the evening.
Here at Bethel we have (nomi-nally)
a system of self-govern-ment.
Have you considered govern-ing
yourself as an individual ? If
not, stop and think, then use the
precious 'supply of midnight oil
wisely.

Intramural Top
The Barons clinched the intra-mural
basketball championship last
Wednesday as they topped the
second place team, the Jesters
54-36 although there is one more
round scheduled. Even without the
services of Paul Ohlin, who drop-ped
out of school, and Dave Davies
and Lindy Magnuson who are on
choir and chorus tours, the cham-pions
won quite easily as Clarence
Wood led them with 21 points. Dale
Larson was high for the losers
with ten points.
In the only other actual game,
the Dukes trounced the Squires
71-47 to bring them up to fourth
place in the standings. The other
two games were forfeited, one by
the Pages to the Counts, and the
other by the Peasants to the
Knights. The Knights' victory on
the forfeit was their first of the
season.

`'WHAT THI5 I sag ABOUT ME SIN' ON PRDOATION11
RePree:1 Patadae
Ed. Note—Jim Reinoldt and Paul Schlueter, members of the
rather unsuccessful Knight's basketball team, have requested that
the CLARION reprint the following article which was run last
year. They feel it somewhat explaine the failure of their team to
win more often.
The referee poked his head out of the pile of players and tooted
angrily on his whistle.
"What," he inquired, "Is going on here?"
The battleground was the fieldhouse, and the reason was infra-murals,
and the conflict was basketball, more or less.
Some minutes later the referee had sorted out five miscellaneous
players per team and had located the ball, and the game went on.
Up and down the floor the tumult raged, a virtual tornado of flying
feet and other appendages, and not unlike an ambitious cyclone happily
'engaged in 'disecting a china shop.
And, rather far behind and along the sidelines, now quite removed
from actual combat, puffed the referee, sucking his whistle fiercely as
if it were the only thing which remained between him and insanity,
and shaking his head. He felt that the• game was rather getting away
from him.
Five or six hospital cases later, when the two teams had run out
of players in operating condition, a truce was signed and the battle
ended. The referee was informed of this wise decision and he turned, a
lonely man, and made his weary way toward the exit, with a vaguely
troubling, persisting thought that perhaps he had missed a few calls.

Bethel closed out the season un-successfully
as they dropped their
last two games of the season on
a road trip into Michigan. They
were topped by Northern Michigan
81-73, Monday night March 4, and
lost the next night to Michigan
Tech 76-69.
Conference
Being Formed
Bethel was represented at pre-liminary
discussion for forming a
new conference of nine colleges in
three states at Watertown, Wis-consin,
Thursday March 7.
Other schools represented were
Northwestern college of Minnea-polis,
Lakeland, Northland, Mil-ton,
Wisconsin Tech, Milwaukee
Institute of Tech, all from Wiscon-sin,
and Men's college of Rock-ford,
Illinois.
The representatives of these col-leges
will meet again in Minnea-polis
on March 18 if the present
plans receive administration ap-proval.
If the league is farmed, the
basketball season for 1957-58 will
initiate the actual competition.
Football will start in 1958.
Bethel Wins
Two At Home
Bethel wound up its home sea-son
with an impressive victory
over Lakeland Saturday afternoon
March 2 by a score of 83-78. It
was a game with a well mounded
offense as five players scored in
double figures for the Royals.
'Pommerenke was high with 19,
'Carlson hit 17, and Westin 16, to
lead the team.
The game was close most of the
way, and could have gone either
way. But Pommerenke hit two
quick ones in the closing minutes
to put the Royals decisively in
front.
On Saturday, Feb. 23, Pommer-enke
was almost the whole offen-sive
show as he scored 35 points
for the team high on the year.
The Royals topped Tabor in that
game by a score of 86-70. Westin
also had a good night with 17
points.

Against Northern Michigan, Les
Borms was high man on the floor
with 18 points. Conrad, Pommer-enke,
and Rekstad also hit double
figures with 16, 15, and 12 points
respectively. Northern Michigan
also had a well rounded attack as
four men scored at least 11 and
every one of the ten who played
for them scored at least five points.
Mannesto and Peterson were their
high men with 14 points each.
Pommerenke was B eth el' s main
offensive ace in their loss to
Michigan Tech as he threw in 18
points. Becker scored 13 for second
high honors. But Keily and Gal-lagher,
who almost led Tech to
victory over the Royals in their
first meeting, scored well enough
to carry their team to victory and
revenge. They scored 44 points to-gether.
Conrad Tops
Team Scorers
Bill Conrad, senior guard, was
high scorer for the Bethel club as
he hit for 422 points in 26 games
for a 16.2 point average. Last
year he scored 354 points in 20
games.
Second in scoring was Bob Pom-merenke
with 383 points for a
14.7 average. Bob was the high
scorer in the Royals' last games,
and hit the season's high for the
team with 35 points against Tabor.
Conrad scored 33 earlier in the
season.
Morrie Carlson also put on a
scoring spurt in the last five
games of the season with one game
of 17 points, his season's high. He
had scored 46 points in 14 games,
and he doubled it with 47 in the
last five.

Career Festival, a non-profit
youth-a•d project sponsored by the
College of St. Thomas with the
cooperation of Augsburg, Bethel,
Hamline, Macalester, and the Col-lege
of St. Catherine, will be held
March 26, 27, and 28 in the St.
Thomas Armory.
Sixty exhibitors staffing 90
booths will provide descriptions
and brochures for over 100 differ-ent
employment fields. Fields to
be represented include such bran-ches
of medicine as physical ther-apy,
medical technology, nursing,
pharmacy, dentistry, and general
practitioning. There will also be
booths on merchandising, account-ing,
library science, social work,
teaching, law, art, engineering, in-surance,
and journalism.
The 'exhibitors include the Min-nesota
Mining Manufacturing Co.,
General Mills, N.W. Bell Tele-phone
Co., Minneapolis School of
Art, St. Paul Dispatch and Pio-neer
Press, Minnesota State Civil
!Service, and WTCN-Radio-TV.
Over 20 thousand high school
and college students are again ex-pected
to attend this three-day
career-planning event.
Begun in 1955, over 40 thousand
students attended the Festival on
the St. Thomas campus during the
Sem Dormitory
To Be Remodeled
The cost of remodeling the Sem-inary
dormitory, which will be
completed by next fall, is now be-ing
investigated by Harold Lid-born,
business manager.
The fifteen dorm rooms now
house approximately forty students
from both seminary and college.
Next year the dorm will house
only seventeen, all of which will
be seminary students. The other
students will be accommodated by
the new wing on the boy's dorm.
Most of the rooms will be singles
and the furnishings will be similar
to those in the new wings. A por-tion
of this dorm will be converted
to faculty offices.
The purpose of this remodeling
program is to alleviate the crowd-ed
living conditions now existing
in the seminary dorm.

Sophomore Test
Begins Tomorrow
The national College Sophomore
Testing Program test will be given
to all Bethel sophomores during
the mornings of March 13 and 14,
Wednesday and Thursday. The
place will be designated later.
These tests, which are admini-stered
on hundreds of college cam-puses,
enable a school to compare
the general educational growth of
its sophomores with that of sopho-mores
throughout the country.
Last year, the first year that
the Sophomore Culture tests were
given here, Bethel students ranked
significantly above the national
average according to Clifford Lar-son,
dean of the college.
General cultural background, un-derstanding
of contemporary af-fairs
and 'skills in English, reading
and writing are measured by the
testing program.
The two-fold purpose of the
tests, Dean Larson stated, is to
show Bethel how its educational
program compares with the pro-grams
in other colleges and uni-versities
and to give the student
a picture of himself before he be-gins
a more extensive study in his
major field.
Dr. Bailey Of NCA
To Study Program
A special session of the faculty
to review the Master self study of
the total curriculum will meet to-morrow
with Dr. Carl Bailey,
special coordinator for Bethel col-lege
under the Committee on Lib-eral
Arts of the North Central as-sociation.
Dr. Bailey, who is also dean of
Concordia college in Moorhead,
Minn., will analyze the Master self
study of the total curriculum made
by the faculty in connection with
the change from the quarter to
semester system.
Each year Bethel engages in
some Master self study program
for the Committee on Liberal Arts
of the North Central association'.
These Master self studies are a
part of a long range program to
gain accreditation by the North

tuition, fees, and board and room,
plus an alteration in the loan
policy, which have been' approved
by the administrative committee,
will go into effect next fall.
Similar to the present plan of
payment, all charges for tuition,
fees, and board and room will still
be due at the 'beginning of the
semester. However, under the new
plan, students may make arrange-ments
in the business office for
deferred payments for the whole
amount. One third of the total
amount will be due at the time of
registration. (For freshmen, how-ever,
the percentage will be one
half of the amount.) The remain-der
may be paid in one, two, or
three equal monthly installments.
The service charge for this pri-vilege
will be $2 with the down
payment and $1 for each month or
part of a month.
Under the new provision for the
loan fund, loan money now be-comes
available for longer terms
and at lower interest.
Regular loans will not be open
to freshmen, and juniors and sen-iors
will be given preference. Ap-plications
for loans will be con-sidered
by a faculty committee,
with attention to academic 'poten-tial,
financial need, and personal
qualifications. Each student will
be limited to a maximum loan of
$300 at any one time.
Loans will bear 3 per cent inter-est
per annum on the unpaid bal-ance
while the student is attend-ing
Bethel (vacations included)
and 6 per cent from the time the
'student leaves college. Final pay-ment
of the loan will 'be due one
year from the time of leaving the
college.
These changes in the loan fund
policy have been worked out dur-ing
the year by a joint committee
of administration and Student Sen-ate
representatives.

Peterson Named
Bethel Rep. On CFS
Walfred Peterson, professor of
political science in the college, has
been appointed 'to represent Bethel
an a College-Federal Service coun-cil
for the Twin City area.
The council consists of repre-sentatives
from each of the lib- .
eral arts colleges, the University
of Minnesota, and a number of
federal agencies.
The basic objectives of the coun-cil
are two:
(1) assisting the average col-lege
student to become more in-telligently
acquainted with the
workings and problems of his Fed-eral
Government so that he may
participate thoughtfully in it as a
citizen.
(2) to call the attention of col-lege
students to vocational open-
•n.gs in political and diplomatic
services..
President Lundquist expressed
his pleasure to have Mr. Peterson
represent us on the committee in
that "the latter objective fits com-pletely
into the basic objective of
Bethel, namely to encourage Chris-tian
young people to level the
weight of their leadership in na-tional
and international life."
